4. New England Patriots (7-2)

With upcoming games at Carolina and against Denver, now we get to see what the Patriots are truly made of. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)

5. New Orleans Saints (7-2)

The Saints tallied an NFL-record 40 first downs against Dallas, their 625 yards were the most in franchise history, their 242 rushing yards were their most since 1990 and they’ve now won 12 straight prime-time home games. If this team can somehow get home-field advantage in the playoffs, watch out. (Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images)

8. Carolina Panthers (6-3)

9. San Francisco 49ers (6-3)

The 49ers had two weeks to prepare for Carolina and couldn’t find the end zone once – or score after halftime. Up next? A trip to New Orleans. Ouch. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)

10. Cincinnati Bengals (6-4)

11. New York Jets (5-4)

The Jets have a very manageable month upcoming with games against Buffalo, Baltimore, Miami and Oakland – teams with a combined 14-22 record. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)

13. Dallas Cowboys (5-5)

Maybe Rob Ryan wasn’t the problem last year. The 32-point loss to the Saints was the worst in the Jason Garrett era. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)

14. Philadelphia Eagles (5-5)

The Eagles are 0-4 at home but 5-1 on the road, as Riley Cooper – who has eight catches for 241 yards and five touchdowns in his last two games – has become arguably Nick Foles’ favorite target . (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)

15. Green Bay Packers (5-4)

Scott Tolzien actually didn’t play that bad, but Green Bay still suffered its worst home loss since 2006. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)

16. Baltimore Ravens (4-5)

The Ravens became just the second team this season to gain fewer than 200 yards and still win. Now they just need to work on Hail Mary fundamentals. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)

17. Arizona Cardinals (5-4)

The Cardinals have already matched their win total from last season. (Photo by Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)

18. Miami Dolphins (4-5)

Just when you thought the Dolphins couldn’t get any uglier, they rush 14 times for two yards in a MNF loss to previously winless Tampa Bay. (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)

19. Cleveland Browns (4-5)

The Browns can match their win total from last season with a win over the Bengals this Sunday. (Photo by Matt Sullivan/Getty Images)

20. San Diego Chargers (4-5)

San Diego forced five punts, but only one of Denver’s scoring drives lasted longer than two minutes. (Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)

21. New York Giants (3-6)

That’s three wins in a row. Welcome to the season, Andre Brown. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)

22. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-6)

The Steelers pounded the rock 33 times and limited Buffalo to just three points through 59:57 of play. What is this, 2003? (Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty Images)

23. St. Louis Rams (4-6)

America, meet Tavon Austin, who scored three touchdowns and totaled 310 yards against the Colts. The do-everything rookie has quite a future ahead of him. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)

24. Washington Redskins (3-6)

There’s a big difference between 4-5 and 3-6, and the Redskins let one get away in Minnesota. (Photo by Hannah Foslien/Getty Images)

25. Oakland Raiders (3-6)

Terrelle Pryor hasn’t thrown a touchdown pass in any of his last three games. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)

26. Tennessee Titans (4-5)

Tennessee lost at home to Jacksonville. It doesn’t get much worse than that. (Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images)

27. Minnesota Vikings (2-7)

Christian Ponder gives this team the best chance of winning, and it’s not even close. If there’s a fan base in the NFL to feel sorry for, it’s the Vikings. (Photo by Hannah Foslien/Getty Images)

28. Atlanta Falcons (2-7)

Tony Gonzalez didn’t catch a pass until midway through the third quarter. That can’t happen – and I don’t care what defense you’re facing. (Photo by Scott Cunningham/Getty Images)
